A Florida man is facing 20 counts of obscenity for allegedly creating and distributing AI-generated child pornography, highlighting the danger and ubiquity of generative AI being used for nefarious reasons.

Phillip Michael McCorkle was arrested last week while he was working at a movie theater in Vero Beach, Florida, according to TV station CBS 12 News. A crew from the TV station captured the arrest, which made for dramatic video footage due to law enforcement leading away the uniform-wearing McCorkle from the theater in handcuffs.

    Sure, with some exceptions and reasonable definitions.

        Never said, wrote, or even thought any such thing.

            CSAM is the exception, Socrates. Also as far as definitions go, computer models aren’t artists.

                I don’t know how well-rendered CSAM has to be in order to be considered legal or illegal, and I frankly don’t give a shit.

                    You seem to give a shit. I’m completely fine with the current legal constraints.
